Relativity Area is a personal house firm that’s growing 3D printed rockets, synthetic intelligence, and autonomous robotics. They’ve raised about $1.34 billion and have a valuation of about $5 billion.
They plan to launch the Terran R from Launch Complicated 16 at Cape Canaveral Area Pressure Base beginning in 2026.
It’s a SpaceX Falcon 9 class rocket. In addition they plan to reuse the primary stage.
It’s two-stage, 270-foot-tall rocket with an 18-foot diameter and a 5-meter payload fairing. Terran R is a Falcon 9 class automobile with a reusable first stage. Terran R will be capable of launch 23,500kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) or 5,500kg to a Geosynchronous Switch Orbit (GTO), each with downrange touchdown, or as much as a most payload of 33,500kg to LEO in expendable configuration. Horizontal integration to the automobile will probably be supported via an ordinary Payload Connect Becoming (PAF) interface, with payload integration configurations out there for clusters of constellation satellites, single giant satellites, or different distinctive spacecraft.
